True mate.....Don’t get me wrong, REM are ok but a bit ‘middle of the road’ for me. Good live though
Rubbish Strolls......Nirvana were far better
You'd be struggling to say that the Nirvana of the 80s were as good as REM...their early stuff was very raw. Nevermind was released in '91, once they'd polished their act up. Saw them twice in '92, Kings Hall Belfast and THAT gig at Reading Festival - and not many gigs I've been to since have eclipsed that.
Nice - I had to dig around in my basement to find my collection of CDs!
1980’s? ****ing hell, how could I leave out Public Image Ltd - Album.
But of course that wasn’t what was said.
‘Best to emerge from the 80’s’.......
Im just being my pedantic self Steels
Middle of the road? How very dare you
Mate, when you listen to Crass, Dead Kennedy’s, RATM and Aphex Twin (to name a few)......a lot of stuff is middle of the road

When I saw U2 had won the poll my immediate response was “ugh!”
There’s nothing wrong with much of their music, but Bonio is such a c u n t that I just can’t listen to ‘em.

Serious question Stainsey - I like the odd bit from these bands, and really like and admire what they stand for, would still love to see many of them live, but no way would I sit down and listen to more than one song at a time. Do you?Mate, when you listen to Crass, Dead Kennedy’s, RATM and Aphex Twin (to name a few)......a lot of stuff is middle of the road
No judgement going on, just curious.
My Mrs really wants me to sell the lot but I just can’t do it
Funnily enough I really do....I find the harder stuff like Rage and Dead Kennedy’s get me a bit motivated for the day, especially if I’m getting ready for a run. Sounds very ‘right on’ but it gets me pumped up for what I’m gonna do.....then a bit of ‘drill’ music when I’m actually running and that’s me sorted.
Why on earth would you not listen to a whole album? Something the artist has given everything for, blood, sweat, tears, set down the tracks in a particular order (which is the reason I detest shuffle on Spotify) to complete the album. Some songs have to be listened to in an album setting, they just don't make sense as standalone tracks.
I've got just shy of 2000 CDs, and haven't listened to one in years - however vinyl is king! Nothing better than cranking up the amp and listening to that first crackle as you drop the needle into the starter groove, then the tunes kick in!!
Absolutely.....prime example for me is most Hawkwind Albums. Yeah you can listen to them as stand alone tracks, however to get the full ‘journey’ they have to be played in the order the artist intended.
‘Assault and Battery’ has to be followed by ‘The Golden Void’ or it just isn’t right.
